Sorry, I'm not 100% following what you're saying. Are you saying the hinomaru - the red disc on the white background - is actually called the imperial flag and the one with the rays of the sun isn't called the imperial flag?
If so, I didn't know that.
Whatever it's called the flag with the...
I don't think that's an exact analogy. Your analogy would work if the flag waved at the united game was the Japan national flag(i.e the white background with a red disc in the middle). The imperial flag is not the national flag of Japan. It's used by the military and is associated (by many...
My perspective is this:
It's a much cooler looking flag than the standard Japan flag, I can fully understand why someone would choose it to support Mitoma.
It does, however, have some quite negative connotations for various parts of Asia, particularly Korea where a number of long standing...
I'm a big fan of Rashford, he's an excellent player but I'd gladly see him subbed off, he's looking very dangerous.
I think we need at least one more goal, I can't see us keeping our first clean sheet of the season in this game - utd are far more positive and attacking than they were last year...
When I first saw the line up I thought that it was a bit maverick. Then, after a few minutes thought, I remembered we've only bloody well got Europe on Thursday. Europe! So we've got to do that rotation thing. Buckle up and get used to it lads and lasses!
If it helps you could read the Fortress Old Trafford narrative. Unbeaten at home for a year and a week, 31 games, 27 wins, 4 draws. That's a narrative that puts us firmly as the underdogs.
What an incredible run of fixtures. Amongst the seven games are five former European champions, 2 Europa league games, a game against arguably the biggest club in France, games against clubs with a total 52 English top flight titles.
And Bournemouth.
It's incredible how underrated he is.
We all rate him, even when we thought his lack of pace meant he'd be heading out of the team and possibly club we knew he was 'decent' and now he's ripping it up again we know he's better than just decent but...
I still can't quite fathom how good he...
On iplayer. Maybe on bbc 1 or 2 too?
I know there's a fair bit of interest in this stuff on NSC.
I'm sure there was a thread on this or something very similar not too long ago but I am utterly useless at using the search function so I'm startin a new thread. Mods feel free to merge with the...
Someone with the requisite ability needs to gif that 20 second period where Dunk first makes the block and then does the Dunk chest pass to Ramsdale. Classic Dunk right there.
I'd love to see a team like that.
Stones for Dunk and maybe Rashford for Grealish and I think that would be the strongest possible side we could put out if everyone was fit.
For tonight I'd like to see
Ramsdale
Trippier
Dunk
Colwill
Chilwell
Rice
Bellingham
Foden
Grealish
Wilson
Eze
Bring...
I'm not a betting man but that seems great value. Its at hampden, they're in great form and I don't think England give as big a shit about it as the Scots probably do. I'd have all three results as being fairly equal so 10-1 seems crazy.
Although I've just seen you've said playcard offer. I...
I'm wildly jealous of all you lucky, lucky people who will get to experience European football. It goes into my top three jealous albion moments along with the first game at the Amex and the Wigan promotion game(and celebrations).
